I do research in ancient times

Chapter 137

People, you really can't talk indiscriminately, and you can't insert flagpoles indiscriminately.

No, the old Juntun, who was still ambitious before, suddenly felt the malice from Mo Zong when he really entered Old Man Liu's study class.

After visiting the water dragons and agricultural tools in Jiuling Lake, the first batch of students from the "agronomy class" in Ding'an City entered Mozongwu Castle collectively.

There are a total of 30 people, all selected by the Feng family from the frontier army. Three generations, old, middle and young, all know how to farm and have worked in the fields.Lao Juntun was the oldest student in the agronomy class. He was a little unconvinced before he came, saying that he was also a farming master, so what can he learn from Mozong.

After personally experiencing the waterwheel, Lao Juntun's attitude took a 180-degree turn. Not only did he actively ask for class, but he also taught a few unconvinced thorns in the class to be obedient. A moth.

Mr. Feng is a fastidious person, and the aristocratic family wanted to give gifts to the teacher when they entered the school, so he picked 30 piglets with his younger brother Feng, and sent them to Wubao together with the rations for 30 people.

In this study class, Old Man Liu was teaching, and Aunt Niu was responsible for the logistical work, and the two worked together in a division of labor.

Old man Liu felt that today was really a good day. He has lived so far in his life, except for the day when he married his wife, the happiest thing is now!

Jizi asked him to be in charge of this group of military households, so he took the "bumpkins" from outside to visit the place where they would study and teach in the future, and beat these people down as soon as they entered the door.

I thought that coming to Mozong was just to learn to use new farm tools, but I didn't expect it to be a serious school!

"Here is where we will go to class in the future. Although our class is doing farm work, we also have to talk about some dry things before going to the fields."

Having said that, Old Man Liu cleared his throat.

"According to the rules of our Mozong, we have to leave questions for you to go back and ponder every day, and hand them in to me the next day. If you don't write well, you will be punished. There will be exams every once in a while, and your scores will be posted on the big list Announcement, the bottom of the list is not only embarrassing, but also has to add extra classes and questions, let me tell you first."

With that said, he led the students into the classroom.

The classroom was built before the agricultural science class. The desks and chairs inside are neatly arranged, and it looks much brighter than the most famous school in the city.

He saw Lao Juntun's excitement, and pointed to the table and chairs in front of him.

"That's it, that's all figured out by Jizi and the carpentry class. It's specially made for us to use in class."

"It's comfortable and labor-saving for people to sit on, and their brains are bright when they learn things, and they can remember the principles of the field."

"Our family has said that agriculture is fundamental, and you have to eat to live, so farming is very important. If you don't have food to eat, you are farting. If you can't live, who talks about the rules of the world? The warehouse is full. It’s the right thing to do.”

This point, the old military village agrees very much.

Like their frontier army, they have not been able to get their feet all year round, and they are barely able to maintain it because they rely on fighting and subsidies from Feng's family.

Those aristocratic families in the imperial court are all farting, and they are not given food and drink and let them regain their lost ground. The swords and guns are all from the previous dynasty, so what can they do to recover? !

It made everyone have to grow some food by themselves after practicing, and it depends on God, and when the times are not good, they will starve.

But they have done so much, who in the DPRK has said anything good about them?It seems that the frontier soldiers are born to be cheap, and they are like chickens and ducks when they die. If they are caught again, they will be there again.

The purpose of being a military colony is to survive, and to protect the young and old from being trampled by barbarians, but no one ever told them that farming is the most important thing in the world.

Are they... so valued?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all saw the inner shock in each other's eyes.

No one spoke for a while, but the eyes looking at this classroom became more and more fiery.

In the past, I could only watch the sons of the aristocratic families enter the school, but I didn't expect that one day, poor people like them would also be able to enter the school. Although they are learning to farm, this is already a dreamlike scene!

At the end of the visit, the military team followed Liu Laotou to the new restaurant for dinner.

Since Aunt Niu's soy sauce came out, the number of people coming to Xinshijian suddenly increased a lot.

Of course, this is due to the start of the weaving workshop.

Mozong's female family members are now working in the weaving workshop to make money. With busy work and ample money, many of them choose to eat three meals a day in the new food room.Some women with families, in order to weave a few more inches of cotton cloth, simply bought some meals in the new dining room and went home, saving themselves from cooking and saving more time for work.

In addition, the soy sauce newly brewed by Aunt Niu has also attracted many repeat customers to the new restaurant.

In the past, the only seasoning in the food room was miso, and the taste was the same over and over again. There was almost no difference between eating in the food room and eating at home.

But now it's different.Auntie Niu's newly brewed sauce enriches the dishes in the food room. Now the new food room will display the menu of the day in advance every day, and soy sauce dishes have become the new favorite of everyone in Mozong.Whether it is braised in soy sauce or steamed, or simply mixed with some wild vegetables in soy sauce, every time you quit, there will be looting, and the most popular sauced tofu in the past will give way.

In this way, the men who complained about the mother-in-law's lack of cooking also changed their tone, no longer thinking about the small stove at home, and wishing to go to the dining room every day to have a good meal.

Now the new food room is more lively than before, especially the dinner after work, it is crowded with people, and they have to discuss today's dishes to see which one is more worth buying.

The military households in the military squad have never seen such a posture. When eating with old man Liu this time, a few young boys were still discussing what Mo Zong would bring out for food.

"Oh, there's Aunt Niu Tofu today, you're in for a treat."

Old man Liu said with a smile.

Oh, tofu.

There was no fluctuation in the hearts of several military stations, and they were even a little disappointed.

After seeing such a magnificent classroom before, Zhong Juntun's expectations for Mo Zong were raised very high, and he always felt that there would be more new things coming out later.

I heard that the cement and kang they are using now are all made by Mo Zong, and Mo Zong's Wubao also opened everyone's eyes.The next field has to build a dedicated house, no matter how you want to eat, it shouldn't be bad!

But tofu...it's really nothing rare.

Recently, the army also opened a bean shop, which supplies tofu and soy milk daily. Tofu has become the main dish of the frontier army, and you can see it in the pot every few days.

I started to eat it fresh, but if I eat too much, it will taste that way.The tofu is light and poor, and I heard that there are sons from aristocratic families in the capital who take it as jade ointment, which is also a big tooth to laugh at.

The old man Liu saw the expressions of several people one by one, he just laughed and motioned for everyone to take the plate to receive the meal.

Today's staple food is thick noodle buns, served with seasonal wild vegetables, a spoonful of Niu Aunt Tofu, and half an egg.

Recently, the hens raised by Zongmen have also started to lay eggs, and they can pick up a lot every day, and they can see eggs on the table almost every day.

Sometimes it is fried, sometimes steamed egg custard, if you really don’t have time, then boil it in plain water, it can also be regarded as meaty.

When old man Liu brought people over, there was already a long queue at Caikou.A few women with cotton handkerchiefs tied on their heads hurried in, seeing this posture, they could only let out a long sigh, turned around and left.

"What's wrong with them?"

One of the young soldiers asked Mr. Liu.

"Is there not enough food?"

"Of course not."

Old man Liu shook his head violently.

"We, Mozong, have never had enough food since we became the son of Chengzong, so don't talk nonsense."

"But……"

The young Juntun scratched his head.

"Since it's not enough to eat, then why did they just take a look and leave! Even if there are too many people, it's fine to wait. Anyway, the women are at home, and it's not a big deal."

"Ah."

Hearing what he said, old man Liu sneered, and looked at the young Juntun with sympathy for ignorance.

"Ah, they really have something urgent to do."

The old man said softly.

"These are all female workers in the weaving workshop. They came here to cook for lunch. Their time is very tight. They can weave a lot of cotton cloth in a quarter of an hour, and that's all money."

"Aunt Niu's tofu is available today, and they rushed over to the food room. They usually bring a bite to eat, and they come here to have a good meal after work in the evening. There are so many people, and they wait here for a quarter of an hour. Do you still want to go to work, isn't this a delay!"

what? !

Juntun was surprised.

He never expected that those women left because they were afraid of wasting time!

"Then...then they have to get off the stove when they go back, the man and the baby at home also have to eat!"

"Both the man and the baby eat in the dining room, so don't you just have to pay for the meal?"

Old man Liu said naturally, not paying attention to the opening of the other party's mouth.

If it had been half a year ago, he would have felt the same as the kid in front of him, thinking that these women were messing around, and there was no reason for women to ignore the house and not cook.

But now...

Thinking of the changes this weaving workshop brought to the sect, old man Liu shook his head.

Cloth workshops are very profitable. Although they are not as expensive as the weapons produced by blacksmith workshops, people need to wear clothes. Cotton cloth has never been worried about sales.

But women are naturally dexterous, with the help of a shuttle, they weave the cloth so quickly that the cotton yarn in the sect is almost used up.

I heard that Liu Tong is studying the spinning machine again recently to see if he can increase the spinning speed so as not to delay the weaving workshop from making money.

In any case, the current Zongmen is much more lively than before, and everyone is more energetic in their lives.

Although some men complained that the mother-in-law made money and was not as obedient as before, but the couple made money together, and the children in the family could eat better and dress warmer, which is a great thing.

As for life, you have to go through more and more prosperity to have a bright future. Whoever says more and less can do nothing.

Thinking of what Jizi said back then, Old Man Liu cleared his throat, and went straight out to teach the young Juntun a lesson.

"Women hold up half the sky."

"If the mother-in-law in the family also makes money, your family will have double income. Wouldn't life be better?"

Juntun smirked and scratched the back of his head.

He didn't know if his life was going well, he was still a smooth stick, and his wife hadn't found a place yet.

However, these little ladies of Mo Zong were indeed different from the ones he had seen.

He couldn't tell, but he just felt that they lived with their chests up and their heads up, walking with style, and they were extraordinarily energetic.

If his future wife is also like this...

Just as he was lost in thought, a strange strong fragrance suddenly entered his nose.

The young Juntun trembled from the stimulation, and his mouth began to secrete saliva unconsciously.

This taste... how should I put it, it is very peppery, very spicy... Mmm, there is also a faint aroma of meat, which is very exciting when mixed together.

Speaking of which, he has lived for more than 20 years, and he has never smelled such a fragrant smell, even more fragrant than meat!

The crowd seemed to be alarmed by the smell, and began to move forward slowly.Soon, the people at the front left with plates full of food, and the aroma became stronger and stronger as they passed by.

Phew... no... my saliva is about to flow out.

The young soldier didn't know what kind of evil he was suffering from. There was a constant flow of saliva under the root of his tongue, and the closer he was to the mouth of the dish, the worse it became.

When it was his turn, he started to cough and his eyes watered because of the choking hot air.

But he was reluctant to leave, his feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, swallowing mouthful after mouthful of saliva.

"Tofu is spicy, can I eat it?"

Seeing his reaction, the aunt who scooped up the vegetables asked him kindly.

"Eatable! Edible!"

Juntun nodded frantically.

He vaguely saw that the pot was filled with tofu, and he didn't know what was added in it. The red color was very attractive.

Speaking of it, although the spicy smell that choked his nose was irritating, it also whetted his appetite, and his stomach roared.

"Okay, I'll give you more then."

The aunt was very considerate, not only scooped a large spoonful of tofu for Juntun, but also gave him an extra thick noodle bun.

"It's the first time I eat chili, eat it slowly, it's still hot just out of the pan, be careful to burn your throat."

These military settlements were all sent by the Feng family to study farming in the Zongmen, and they all paid rations, so they couldn't treat them badly.

Juntun nodded repeatedly, breathing in the smell of food on the plate as he walked, his feet went limp from the stimulation.He found an empty table nearby and sat down. He couldn't wait to scoop up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth.

"Huh...huh... so spicy! So hot!"

Even if his tongue is numb from the heat, he is reluctant to spit out the tofu.

What kind of fairy tofu is this!It was completely different from what he had eaten before, how could it have that bland taste? !

The mouth is fresh and spicy, mixed with the aroma of pork. The tofu is smooth and tender, soaked in oil and delicious. After chewing and swallowing, you can also eat watercress and minced meat. The taste is very rich.

Of course, the most impactful thing is the hot feeling.

Different from the bitterness and spiciness of cornel, this time there is a fragrance in the spiciness, a little numbness in the fragrance, freshness in the numbness, and a slight sweetness. Stop, the feeling of sweating is so cool!

Juntun took a bite of the thick noodle bun, the aroma of wheat dilutes the spicy stimulation, and the freshness of the dishes became more obvious.

"This... what kind of food is this?"

Juntun's forehead was sweating, his eyes were shining, and he asked old man Liu in a low voice.

"Niu Aunt Tofu, Shijian's specialty dish, so many people order this tofu today."

Old man Liu put a spoonful of tofu on the thick noodle bun, took a hard bite, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Delicious! Delicious."
